can static electricity set off an airbag?

I have this unused airbag and steering wheel off of a 1996 pontiac grand am and I was wondering if static electricity could set it off? I collect steering wheels and I use them for something cool I built out of body pillows (the picture does not show the steering wheel I am talking about). I am wondering because I am afraid of it going off and my mom won't let me have it in the house and wikipedia is no help so I need your help.

Like I said above, this picture doesn't show the steering wheel I am talking about because the picture is old.
